COMPUTING-CHART FOR STORE-FRONT CONSTRUCTIONS.

Application led May 11, 1916.

To all whom t may concern.'

Be it known that I, DANIEL J. MURNANE, a citizen of the United States,residing at Chicago Heights, in the county of Cook` and State ofIllinois, have invented a new and useful Improvement iiiComputing-Charts for Store-Front Constructions, of which the followingis a specification.

My invention relates, more particularly, to a computing chart fordetermining quickly and accurately the cost of the va'- riousframing-members of store-front constructions, for any given design andsize of structure.

Store-front constructions, as commonly provided,.are formed of a numberof diiferent varieties of framing-members, the figuring of the cost ofwhich for the various designs of store-front constructions and thevarious sizes of such constructions, is a diiiicult and painstakingoperation requiring relatively great skill and considerable time,

be accurately and quickly determined by a relatively unskilled person.

As a preface to further explanation of the invention it may be statedthat in use my improved system would be employed by aY manufacturer,dealer or constructor to furnish the facilities for determining costs asliereinbefore explained, in connection with the particular types orstyle of framing-members which he manufactures, deals in or uses, andVto this end the data forming the basis of the system for the particularkconditions presented would be based on these particular forms offraming-elements and the various combinations'in whichA it might bedesired to use them.

` Referring to the accompanying drawings, Figures 1, 2 and 3 constituteplans of one of a number of different designs of store-frontconstructions, Fig. l Showing the construc-l Specifica'ton of LettersPatent.

tion by a front perspective view, Fig. 2 showing it in edge elevation,and Fig. 3 showing it inplan section; and Fig. 4e showing the chart'forcooperation with the plans of Figs. 1, 2 and 3 to determine the cost ofthe various'framing-members required to be Y used in variousconstructions to produce the framing of this particular design of storefront constructions of given dimensions.

yIn practice, by preference, there would be provided for each dierentdesign of store-front construction, plans showing the generalarrangement of the framingmembers for this particular design ofconstruction, as for example, those shown in Figs. 1,

2 and 3, and preferably other data as hereinafter explained, and for usein connection with each set of such plans, a chart would lbe providedfor coperation therewith, with" tables presenting gures for the variousforms of framing-members for the construction of this particular design,by which the cost of such members in different combinations may bereadily determined for any lgiven size of store-front construction of`such design.

. In illustrating my invention I have chosen to show it as applied toonly one design of `store-front construction and that one comparativelysimple, so as to render a de- VYscription of the invention clearly understandable, though, as above stated, a set of .plans for each design ofstore-front construction would. be provided and for coperationtherewith, Ycost charts with data applicable to the particular design ofstorefront construction in connection with which it is to be used.

The chart of Fig. 4 is, by preference, prov vided in three divisions,division 5 relating to the ltransom materials. or, in other words, Y

the upper portion of the store-front construction and which is.generally comprised within the lines 6 and 7 of Fig. 1; division 8relating to the show-window section of the construction, or, in otherwords, thatpart contained generally within the lines 7 and 9 of Fig. 1;and division 10 relating to the bulkhead, or, in other words,thatportion of the store-front construction included generally withinthelines 9 and 11 of Fig. 1. Considering first the division 5 of thechart, a horizontal row 12 of gures spaced apart and indicating thewidth (preferably y in feet) of the trans0in=s9tion of they constructionof Fig. 1, is presented, and at right anglesl thereto and arranged inanvertical row or column 13 are igu're's spaced' apart' andrepresenting. preferably in inches differ-y ent heights of transomsections. Arranged iii vario'us frame-members of particularconstructions' and provided in particular .combinatio'ns',`lfoi" thetransom-section of the streifr'ont construction rovided oi a .WidthWithinv the limitsr speci ed in row. 12', for tra'nsn-seetionsf ofvaryinglieiglits Within theflin'iit's set' forth in rou7 13." Forexample, and referring' particularly .to the chart slivn at" 5 in Fig.4,' tli'e'chart figures are basedy upon' certain' constructions" of.transoin-bar coverii'i'g, division-bars, sash and head and side-jambcoverings, as stated in th'e upper' part oi" tli'elcha'rtssection' 5,and, by Way of example, it may be stated that tlie'user' of the chart.iipo'n' determining the Width and height of the transom-section,ii-liicl'i would correspond tothe arrangement s'hoWn in- F 1, andvdesiring to base the construction of this transom-section upon the'4specification or parts as above stated, and assuming the transom to be22 long and v 44 high, may readilydetermine the cost of the fr aining'-materials for `this size and design of' transom by referenceto'lthe'c'hart vjust explained whichV shovvs in the column Hin verticalalinement ivitli 22 (representv`idt h` in feet) and in' horizontalalineinent with 14 in colun'in 13', the numberE 55ufl'i'ieligiep'resent's the cost' tliereof figured out froi'njre'viouscalculations;

Provision is made in division 5 of the chart for indicating' thedeductions to be made from the figures contained in the sectionjiistexplained, Where, for example, one

of the ele'n'ie'rits (in the particular example illustratedtransembarcovering No. 41,5) is omitted.' Thesel deductions, represented bythre'lii'i'e15 of figures, are' for the. different ividtl`i`s oftraiisonis, and asA ivill be' clear :in i from Fig. L are arranged invertical alin'eiii'eiit: \iiitli they several columnsV 14, whereby if.uit 1in-nenn siem-@nt te which these d@- due'tions relate, 'iso'i'iiitte'd, the one usiig the tablecln by i'iiere'ly running downV theve'rtical coliiinnheaded by lthe 'numeral ivhich represents th'e Widthin feet-of the' particular tian'soi'n en v uliich' he figuring, 'quicklydetermine the ddductionto be inadefo'r such niissin the particuliiijdonstifuction 'being gured on. Thu`s',kif the covering No. y

415 is to be omitted inthe example of transom above related forillustrating the mannerof using the chart, the deduction wouldbe'$10.01'. r-

Provision is alsomade in division 5 ot' the chart for indicating theadditions to be UIliade -to the amounts contained in the' vtor/thedifferent VWidths o fftransom-sections, columns 17 atopposite ends ofthe Columns 16 and iii; ,line with the severalhlineshof figures in thecolumns 16, denoting dili'erent forms of transomfbar,y coveriiigs, jindicated by'. the numbers 120 1,21 and The figures 'in thehorizontalrow s jformed b y the columni 16, opposite the Ivarious ynumerals in thecolumns' 1 7, aredetermined from calcuf lations'previously made, ba sedon the use of these respective transombar Acoverings for: the'vvariousWidthsfof transomections indicated at the .top of' the columns14.

Thus, assungiing that the transomis 22 ivide Vand transomb'ar,,coveringj422 is* yto'be substituted for rlo. {L1- 5, the Vuser by running doivn.theoneottlie columns 11i in line With the designation 22 in theline12cf figures,A and tracing acrossthe chart from the numeral 4,22 inColumn 17 to' the lastreferred-to column' 16 yfinds that' the `amountreqi'iired to be added to the figure determinedv from' columns 14, is$2'j.81 .l The other additions' and deductions referred to ioo in division5 of this chart, are self-exa pla'natory..l l

.The table 18A of division Snot thejchart and comprising thecolumns/19er costigurcs headed by a lineof numerals V20,1'epresenting'the lineal measurement, inte/et, of the show-Window, measured along A,Band Gand D, Ea'nd F andthe similar columns 21 representing the height orthis portion ot tlie store-front construction, in inches, and located atopposite ends of the group of columns 19, is of the sa'ine generalcharacter .as the table including tlie columns 1/1 and lis used in thesame manner as explained or the latter, all of the igures in' thecolumns19 beinghcalculated for the various ividths and heights of show-Window'sections and-a particular combination of framingsectio'ns, thespeciication's of ivhich, in the iio plan shown where the transomvsection is 22 wide,.andits height is `88, the cost of theframing-members of thel specification associated therewith would be$83.00.

Located below the table 18 is a row 22 of figures which are arranged inline respectively with the rows 19. `These figures represent thedeductions to be 'made from the lfigures of chart 18 in the case of thedifferefit widths of show-window sections where a cert-ain part statedin the specification vfor the table 18, is omitted. Thus, referring tothe particular example shown in the chart, if sill-covering No. 7 05 ofthe above specification is omitted in the case of a construction whichmeasures 27-in width, measured as above, the deduction would be $11.33,regardless of the height of the show-window section. 1

Below the line of figures 22, instructions are given to determinedeductions for different heights of show-window sections where theside-jamb covering is omitted and the additions to be made where eitherone of two other kinds of corner bars are employed for dierent heightsof showwindow sections, as the case may be.

ln division 10 of' the chart a table, represented at 23, for determiningthe oost of the framing-members for the bulkhead of the store-front'construction is provided. Thisy table, which is made up of the columns24, of figures representing costs, a line 25 of figures heading columns24 and representing in feet the width of bulkheads within certain limitsmeasured along the lines A, B and C and D, E and F, and columns 26arranged at opposite ends of' the column 24 and indicating in inches theheights of different bulkheads, follows substantially the same plan asthe tables relative to the showwindow sections, and are based uponcalculations as to the cost of forming the bulkheads of differentheights and widths based on the specification set forth immediatelyabove the table 23. Thus, if the bulkhead is 27 wide measured lineallyas indicated of the show-window, and 18 high, the cost of the bulkheadmaterials on the above.

specification will be $62.00.

In the plans shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3, the various members forming thetransom, show-window and bulkhead sections, in accordance with thespecifications set forth at the head of each table in the chart of Fig.4, are indicated by the numerals by which they are referred to in saidspecifications, and the general dimensions of the structure are given.Thus, one desiring to determine the cost of a store-front construction,after once determining the character of the storefront to be figured onand its dimensions, refers to the one of the plans which correspondswith such design and which indi- Cates .to

riations to be made in the figures of said him where the Various membersreferred to in the specifications presented in cated, and by referringto the chartprovided for coperation with-such plans may readily figureout from such chart the cost of all of the framing-members required forany size of structure within the limits of the chart and for differentcombinations of framing-elements as provided therein.

What I Vclaim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 1.Thecombination with a plan of a storefront showing a constructioninvolving framing-members, of a table of figures for cooperation withsaid plan to indicate the cost of the framing-members, arranged in aparticular combination required for forming different sizes ofstore-fronts of the design shown in said plan withy the framing-membersarranged as represented therein, the figures in said table beingarranged in columns with dimension-indicating means associated with saidcolumns and figures arranged in line with said columns for indicatingthe vatable where a variance from the framingmembers on which thecalculations in said table are based, occurs.

2. The combination with a plan of a storefront involvingframing-members, of a table of figures for cooperation with said plan toindicate the cost of the framing-members arranged in a particularcombination required for forming different sizes of constructions ofstore-fronts of the design shown in said plan, with the framing-membersarranged as represented therein, the figures in said table beingarranged in columns with dimension-indicating means associated with saidcolumns at the heads thereof and dimension-indicating means arranged ina column parallel with said first-referred-to columns and a series ofcolumns of figures in alinement with said rst-referred-to 'columns, arow of designating characters arranged in a column alongside of thelastreferred-to columns and representing constructions offraming-members diierent from those on which the figures in saidfirstreferred-to table are based, the figures in said last-named set ofcolumns representing the changes Vin the figures of thefirst-referred-to table, to be made where the Asubstituteframing-members are employed.

3. A cost-chart for indicating the cost of the framing-members requiredfor forming different sizes Vof store-fronts employing framing-membersand of a particular design, presenting a table of figures indicating thecost of the framing-members required for forming a store-front of aparticular design and size where the framingmembers are employedaccording to a predetermined combination of varieties thereof.

4. A @Ost-chart for indicating the cost of 13o the' framing-membersrequired for forming v different sizes of store-fronts employlngframing-members and of a particular design, presenting a table offigures indicating the cost of the framing-members required for forminga store-front of a particular design and size Where the framing-membersare employed according to a predetermined combination of varietiesthereof, and tabulated figures for coperation with said table forindicating the variations to be made in the figures of the latter Wherea variance in the particular framing-members on which the calculationsin said table are based, occurs.

5. A costchart indicating the cost of the framing-members required forforming. different sizes of store-fronts involving framingffn'iembersand of a particular design, said chartpre'senting columns of figureswith dimensionindicating means associated With rsaidcolumns, the figuresin each column indicating the cost of the framing-members Where a'certain combination thereof' is employed, for store-fronts havingdifferent dimensions in one direction and the same dimension in anotherdirection, and tabulated figures arranged inline With saidfirst-referred-to columns for indicating the variations to be made inthe ii'gures of the latter Where a variance in the particularframingmembers on Which the calculations in said first-named columns arebased, occurs.
